This tool identifies sub-ICB locations (SICBLs) which have shown substantial improvement across each of our OpenPrescribing measures. The five SICBLs with the largest improvement are reported. We hope this will stimulate discussion with areas that have made effective changes so that successful strategies can be shared.
We used trend indicator saturation to detect the timing and size of changes of SICBLs against all SICBLs in England. This prototype uses the current criteria to identify improvement:
You can find more information on the trend indicator saturation methodology we use here, including a podcast on our work with Professor Ben Goldacre.
These pilot results are provided for the interest of advanced users, although we don't know how relevant they are in practice. There is substantial variation in prescribing behaviours, across various different areas of medicine. Some variation can be explained by demographic changes, or local policies or guidelines, but much of the remaining variation is less easy to explain.
We are keen to hear your feedback on this tool and how you use it. You can do this by emailing us at bennett@phc.ox.ac.uk. Please do not include patient identifiable information in your feedback.
